Lyric discussion by noseovertail711 

I think it's about death, and the album itself seems to have a lot of songs about death in general. The album is dedicated to the memory of John Beatz (definitely the subject of "Heart Beatz") and Caitlin Boyle, whom I can only assume is a personal friend of the band's and also the subject of this song.

"The ones that we need are the ones that we're losing" is easily a reference to friends who are dying.
